Question 77
XE-DMCQ2 marksNeeds review
The figure shows a rod PQ, hinged at P, rotating counter-clockwise with a uniform angular speed of 15 rad/s. A block R translates along a slot cut in rod PQ. At the instant shown the distance PR = 0.5 m and
. The relative velocity of R with respect to the rod PQ is 5 m/s at the instant shown. The relative acceleration of R with respect to the rod PQ is zero at the instant shown.Which one of the following is the CORRECT magnitude of the absolute acceleration (in m/s
) of block R?
